Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
  Waiting for me when I die
  But between the day you're born and when you die
  They never seem to hear you cry
  So as sure as the sun will shine
  I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
  
  And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
  One and all
  Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
  One and all
  
  Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
  Trying to drive me underground
  And they think that they have got the battle won
  I say forgive them Lord, they don't know what they've done
  'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
  I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
  
  And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
  One and all
  Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
  One and all
  
  And I keep on fighting for the things I want
  Though I know that when you're dead you can't
  But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
  Than living as a puppet or a slave
  So as sure as the sun will shine
  I'm gonna take my share now of what's mine
  
  And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
  One and all
  Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
  One and all
